Fencer Mk.1--Noob-Proof SSTO

[The Jedi Master]

The JSP's first SSTO. She's noob-proof, flies like a dream and can actually get a decent orbit. As seen in the K Prize! Feedback is appreciated!

Happens, Jedi. Might want to include more pics and an explanation of how it is newbproof and how to achieve orbit the most efficient way with it.

That may be due to the download button saying 'Buy Now!' which certainly gave me pause. Still, I grabbed it anyway.

Could use one or two solar panels (the small bolt-on models should be OK); that Rapier is sweet but for some reason does *not* generate Charge. I ran out of battery before I could finish tweaking the orbit, though the flight was otherwise very uneventful. Using your flight profile it switched to Closed-Cycle around 31.2K, and by then I didn't have to burn much more before Ap was above 70K.

Also, about noob-proof - add a note on how to raise the gear. ;-)

Very good plane regardless. A keeper for me.

Now for me the link in the OP is invalid.

That wouldn't have happened if the upload button actually took you to the page.

To everyone else: Thanks for the feedback!
